The Bob & Nita Hirsch Family Foundation makes a small number of large, locally focused grants in the Los Angeles region, favoring institutional support for hospitals, community event infrastructure, cultural institutions, and direct community services. Their gifts are typically sizeable unrestricted/public-support payments to established nonprofits rather than many small awards, and they often fund repeat recipients.
The Bob & Nita Hirsch Family Foundation’s largest recent grants go to local institutions that anchor health, family services, and civic life in Southern California. In 2025, it gave $1,700,000 to Providence Cedars Tarzana Foundation for public support of the organization mission, followed by $1,000,000 to Lulu's Place in El Segundo for the same purpose. That pattern fits a foundation that makes a small number of large awards rather than many small ones, with support often described as public support of organizational mission. Its recent giving also shows repeated support for the same recipients over multiple years. Providence Cedars Tarzana Foundation received another $306,600 in 2024, and La Sports & Entertainment Commission was funded in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Skirball Cultural Center also appears across 2023 and 2024. The foundation’s portfolio includes hospitals and health systems, family-focused nonprofits, cultural institutions, and regional community infrastructure. It also makes some grants outside institutional support, including neurovascular research grants to David Liebeskind in 2023 and 2024. The overall picture is of a family foundation using sizable, locally directed grants to support established organizations and selected research.
Health and biomedical giving appears in both institutional support and research. The foundation gave $1,700,000 to Providence Cedars Tarzana Foundation in 2025 and $306,600 in 2024, both for public support of the organization mission. It also made neurovascular research grants to David Liebeskind, including $110,000 in 2024 and $50,000 in 2023. Cultural and civic institutions are another clear theme. Skirball Cultural Center received $383,333 in 2023 and $100,000 in 2024 for public support of the organization mission. The foundation also supported La Sports & Entertainment Commission with $350,000 in 2024 and $305,000 in 2025. Family and community services are present as well. Lulu's Place received $1,000,000 in 2025, and Kidsave International received $200,000 in 2023. These grants indicate support for organizations serving children, families, and local community needs.
The typical grant size is $7,500 at the 25th percentile, $15,000 at the median, and $50,000 at the 75th percentile, but the recent grants list also includes several six- and seven-figure awards. The foundation often returns to the same recipients across years, including Providence Cedars Tarzana Foundation, La Sports & Entertainment Commission, Skirball Cultural Center, and California Community Foundation. Its grants are structured as public support of organizational mission, with some project-specific neurovascular research grants. The funder also makes grants to individuals, which is uncommon among many private foundations.
